From eunuch to emperor

The next morning, it was light again.

Long Chen slowly opened his eyes, his body was covered with a thick layer of snow.

When sleeping at night, Long Chen covered his body with a cloak, like a small tent, covered with snow.

Standing up slowly, the snow was shaken off, Long Chen fastened the cloak again.

Gan Xin and Mo Lin are already up, Gan Xin is smoking, Mo Lin is drinking.

"It doesn't feel very cold either."

Gan Xin smiled and smoked a cigarette. Last night they also covered their bodies with cloaks and slept like that all night.

Long Chen grabbed a handful of snow to wash his face, and said: "If the barbarians can survive, we can."

Most of those savages don't have much cultivation and can live in the grassland for generations. Long Chen and the others have such high cultivation, there is no reason why they can't live on.

"Let's go."

Long Chen ate some dried meat, and Mo Lin led the way to the cliff cave they had been to.

The wind stopped, and so did the snow. The surrounding area was a vast expanse of whiteness, and the top of the head was still pressed by black clouds.

The three of them walked for a long time, until it was almost dark, before reaching the cliff cave they mentioned.

"It's here."

Mo Lin looked at the surrounding snow-covered mountains, and was very sure of the location.

Gan Xin stood in the snow, took off his leather hat, moved his ears, and said, "It's strange, why is there no sound?"

If the barbarians spend the winter in the cliff cave, it should be very lively.

It was evening now, and it was time for dinner. There should be smoke and the voices of children.

But no, heard nothing.

"Perhaps they don't spend the winter here?"

Long Chen continued to walk forward.

Mo Lin shook his head and said, "No, they said that they would come here every year, because there are not many places in the grassland that can hide from the wind and snow, especially places that can accommodate tens of thousands of people."

Long Chen stopped and said: "You guys wait here, I'll go and have a look first."

In this case, there must be something strange, Long Chen first explored the way by himself.

Gan Xin and Mo Lin didn't say anything, if there is a problem, Long Chen's cultivation level is the highest, it's safest for him to go.

Long Chen mobilized his true energy, stepped on the snow with both feet, and walked forward slowly.

Walking in front of the cliff cave, Long Chen smelled a stench of cattle and sheep, this is normal, herds of cattle and sheep will have this smell.

Going further, you can hear the calls of cattle and sheep, but strangely, there is no sound of anyone.

For herdsmen, cattle, sheep and livestock are the most important assets. It is impossible for livestock to be here without people.

Unless something happened, people were killed or eaten.

Long Chen continued to walk forward, and when he reached the entrance of the cave, he saw footprints all over the ground and ice scum soaked in flesh and blood.

"Attacked by ghosts!"

Long Chen didn't enter the cliff cave, but immediately flew up.

More than 100 meters of the cliff, Long Chen kept flying up, his hands resting on the protruding place, when he reached the top of the cliff, Long Chen looked around, but he didn't see any ghosts.

After confirming that the ghost clan was no longer around, Long Chen slowly jumped down and landed in front of the cliff cave, where Gan Xin and Mo Lin had already arrived.

When Long Chen was flying up just now, they saw it and guessed that something must have happened.

"How could this be, are they all dead?"

Gan Xin squatted down to check the footprints on the ground and the bloody ice slag, and there was still blood in the hole.

There was a lot of wind and snow yesterday, covering up the footprints outside, but the footprints are still there because there is a cliff in front of the cave.

Long Chen asked: "Can you estimate the number? The number of ghosts."

Gan Xin and Mo Lin looked at the footprints in front of the cliff cave, shook their heads slightly and said: "There is no way to estimate, because these footprints are mixed with ghosts and barbarians."

In addition to human footprints, there are many animal footprints on the ground, which cannot be distinguished at all.

Long Chen looked at Yadong with a very ugly expression on his face.

"Go in and see if there are any corpses of barbarians."

After Long Chen finished speaking, Gan Xin and Mo Lin realized the biggest problem: where did the corpse go?

There are at least tens of thousands of barbarians gathered in such a big cave, but no corpses were seen here.

Gan Xin and Mo Lin walked slowly inside, the cave was full of animals, when they saw people approaching, the cattle and sheep slowly moved out of the way.

At this time, corpses trampled by animals can be seen on the ground.

Each of these corpses is different, some are rotten, some are split, some are glued together with animal skin clothes, and the death patterns are different.

But there is one thing in common, that is, the heads are all crushed, or the heads are simply gone and cannot be found.

"It seems that this place was attacked by ghosts and people were eaten."

"But the bigger problem is that these people who got eaten aren't here."

Long Chen heaved a long sigh, the worst situation happened, the person who was sucked blood by the ghost clan became the puppet servant of the ghost clan.

This is also why Long Chen wanted to let the barbarians enter the south of Yanmen Pass.

"My lord, this is just one of the gathering places, and the situation in other gathering places of the barbarians is likely to be the same."

Gan Xin was also very worried. If these blood-sucking barbarians really followed the ghosts, the situation would be too bad.

Mo Lin asked: "What should we do next? Should we continue searching? Or..."

Long Chen thought for a while, and said: "No, let's go back immediately, the ghosts are attacking the barbarians everywhere, and their team is getting bigger and bigger, if they attack Yanmen Pass, we won't have time to come back to help."

Gan Xin and Mo Lin also thought the same way.

Long Chen searched for the things left by the barbarians in the cave, and found three pairs of sleds in the warehouse.

The last time he attacked the barbarians, Long Chen used a sled, and the barbarians thought it was easy to use, so it became popular.

Taking the sled, when they got outside, the three of them put it on and ran south immediately.

...

The barbarian team that escaped from Yanmen Pass marched hard on the snow.

The wind and snow stopped, but the snow was very deep. They were worried about Long Chen's pursuit, so they hardly rested, and kept walking north.

"Tuduo, we can't move anymore, let's take a rest."

A savage was really exhausted and said to the leading man.

This man named Tuduo was their leader, and he led everyone to escape over the mountain.

Tu Duo looked back at the exhausted team, and said: "I also want to rest, but Long Chen may chase and kill at any time, if we don't go far, we may die here."

Having said that, everyone can't move.

Tuduo had no choice but to stop and rest.

Everyone took out the jerky, grabbed a handful of snow, and ate things indiscriminately.

At this time, several people from the north were walking towards this side with difficulty.

When the barbarian saw it, he got up immediately and said, "Is that...our clansman?"

Tudor also stood up and immediately stepped forward to respond.

There were five people in total. When they saw Tuduo, the five people were very excited and said in a crying voice, "I finally found you."

Tudor didn't know these five people, so he asked, "Which tribe do you belong to?"

A middle-aged man said: "We are from the Ministry of Speed."

Tuduo felt strange, and asked: "The Liesu Department spends the winter in Mount Angla, why did you come here?"

The Liesu Department did not like Dazhou. When Tuzhi mobilized all the ministries to move south, the Liesu Department made it clear that they would still spend the winter in the cliff cave of Angla Mountain and would not move south with the large troops.

So Tudor is very strange, why these five people are here.

The middle-aged man cried: "It's gone, it's gone, there are ghosts, the ghosts ate all our people, and we escaped from the tunnel in the cave."

Several other people echoed: "There are a lot of ghosts, they eat people, and they ate all our people."

"More than 20 of us escaped and walked southward, trying to go to Yanmen Pass to find Shanyu. They couldn't move anymore, they froze to death, and there were only five of us left."

Hearing this, Tudor was dumbfounded.

Ghost clan, is there really a ghost clan?
